I think it's good to remember that enzymes do not denature all at once. It is not an on/off switch. Furthermore, with extended time, only a very small amount of beta is needed to carry on the job.
I'm thinking, I might do an overnight mash again if I mess up strike temp on the high end. Give those lone betas a chance to ravage the lands.I think it's good to remember that enzymes do not denature all at once. It is not an on/off switch.

You are right, it depends on the temperature. If it cannot be maintained, then the mash will sour. Made my first kettle sure this way by accident, was quite alright actuallyI haven't read the entire thread, but you could end up with a sour mash. I've purposely done a sour mash a couple times by leaving it for 24 hours. Your temps may have been too high for that though. I think the ideal temp for a sour mash is between 100-110F (38-43C).
I think 62c and 10 hours may be a bit hot and short for the lactobacillus. However this was a consideration when I did thisI haven't read the entire thread, but you could end up with a sour mash.

A picture really is worth a thousand words.Completely irrelevant to the overnight mash / high temp mash question but more to do with the actual beer and the NEIPA style and bottling.
Here are two pictures of the same beer. The first being the last bottle filled about half way (maybe just over actually between 1/2 - 2/3) the other second photo filled to the brim (literally too much, note to self it nearly pushed out of the rubber gasket of the flip top so I cooled them down in the conditioning tub).
One is brown from what I can assume is the oxygen mixing with the proteins and hop oils and the other fresh and bright as hell. Obviously everyone by now know oxygen is the main enemy of the NEIPA but I thought another visual representation after 6 days can't be a bad thing.
